	I "home-brewed" a SeaGate 277N, a Tulin AHive case (with power supply),
and an Apple SCSI card (rev. C). Apple's GS/OS Advanced Disk Utilities had no
problem formatting and partitioning it, and ProDOS 8 has no problems reading
it. I'm not sure, though, about a low-level format (I think ADU just did a
high-level format, but I'm not at all sure). So, I doubt there'll be a
problem.
